West 32d street. 1 hoped the attacl
would wear off, but as it didn't consulted
a well-known and able physician in Nor
risania, who gave me quinine and told mt
what to do. l can sum up the first -four
and half or five years of my experience
in few words. Occasionally was laid ur
for a day or two, but on the whole 1 stuck
to my work. l kept taking quinine, in
larger doses from year to year, and kept
on getting weaker and worse, slowly but
surely all the time. My trouble was now
well defined and its symptoms were steady
and regular. 1 had dumb ague in its
worst form, and it was grinding me down
in spite of all that | could do or the doc
tors could do. 1t held me in a grip like
fire in burning coal mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. 1 was fast
losing flesh and strength, and about
| March, 1884, knocked off work entirely
and went home to be down sick, and to
die for all l could tell. l ran down SO
| rapidly that | soon became unable to walk
any distance. Later went from room to
room in my own house only by friends
holding me up by each arm. The doses
of quinine were increased until | often
took thirty grains at dose. The effects
of this tremendous stimulation was to
make me nearly Wild 1t broke my sleep
all up, and / often walked the floor, or
staggered about it, all nightlong, scarcely
able to bear any noises or even human
speech. My temper was extremely irri-
table. AS to food, one of my little chill
dren would eat more in a meal. than
could in a day. l would order food and
then turn from it in disgust. l lived on
quinine and other stimulants and on nv
self, like bear in winter. The quinine
set my head in a whirl, and the liquor
given as medicine-made my stomach
so sick | could not tolerate it.
From It's pounds (my proper weight)
ran down to 81 pounds-the weight of
light girl-and was scarcely better than
skeleton.
If anybody had taken Ratchet and
knocked me down and killed me l should
have been better off.
During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said "Miller,
1t use i'll my taking any more
none =, of you, can't do you any good.
l might pour pounds of quinine down
your throat and it wouldn't help you"
On the strength of this l gave up the
use of quinine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks Afterwards the last
of May-my wife saw an advertisement
of Kaskine in a New York paper. She
told me of 1t. said: "Stuff and non
sense! it can't do me any good" But she
went to a druggists, nevertheless, to get
it. The druggist advised her against
Kaskine; he said twas nothing but sugar;
that she ought not 10 throw away her
money on it, etc. He said he didn't keep
it, but could get it if she insisted on hav-
ing it. Turning away in disgust my wife
spoke to our neighbor, Mr.. A. G. Hege-
valid, who got her a bottle at a drug store
in Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, began taking it. In one
week was better. l began to sleep. l
stopped Seeing ghosts l began to
have an appetite and to gain strength.
This was now the first of June, 1886, and
by the end of that month l was back at
my bench at G. p. Smiths scroll saving
factory in 10th street, where l work
now.
Since then have never lost day from
sickness. Taking Kaskine only, about
forty pellets in four equal doses a day, l
continued to gain. The malaria appear
ed to be killed in my system, and now
I've got back my old weight-175 pounds |
and my old strength to labor. am an
establishment to myself and to my friends,
and if Kaskine did not do this | don't |
know what did. The only greater thing it
could do would be to bring a dead man to |
life. FREDERICK A MILLER,

the character of remedy because they
do not happen to have it on hand. they
do a great wrong If this afflicted
man had not disregarded the drug
gist's advice and sent elsewhere for the
remedy he would without doubt have been
in his grave.

kaskins as remedy of undoubted merit.
